volunteers are blllngual and I In 5 volunteers have Ilved experlence of DVA. We have built partnerships

Financial revlew
The trustees of the charity continue to monitor financial performance closely through the Audit
Committee that meets quarterly. They are mindful of the very challenging financial environment, and an
additional Sustalnability Committee has been implemented to ensure that long term financial
sustainability remains a priority of the Board. There was an expettation that, during 2024-25, the
outtum would be a call on reserves of around £300,000 but, by strengthening the finan￿ team through

The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women's Aid)
Trustees, annual report
for the year ended 31st March 2025
recrultment, applicatlon of firm budgetary controls and a full value for money review of our operational
and property contratts we were able to end the year with a surplus of £131,785.
Reserves policy
The charlty intends to protect the stabllity of the organisation by provlding a mlnimum "free- reserve In
unrestrlcted funds which provldes an Intemal source of funds for emergency situations and enable
cashflow when high value income Is pald In arrears.
The Senlor Leadership team Infonns the full Board during the approval of budgets process if and when
the use of the reserves is Ilkely and an amount is then authorised for use during the relevant financlal
year if it is required. This is also reviewed on an ongoing basis at the Audit Committee as part of the
reporting of budgets and accounts to thls commlttee.
The trustees have agreed that the minimum "free" reserves target should be calculated as follows:
a) The cost of running a core service of the organisation for 3 months; plus
b) Redundancy costs for all staffi plus
c) An allowance for legal and professlonal fees and a modest contlngency for addltlonal unforeseen
costs.
As at the date of these accounts the minimum free reserves requlrement Is calculated to total
£261,115.
The level of reserves at 31 March 2025 Is £1,221,279 (2024.. £1,089,494). This includes the
Pankhurst Centre leasehold improvements of £311,557 (2023: £315,305) and restricted
reserves of £444,346 (2024: £403,125). The free reserve level is therefore £465,376.
A comparison of our mlnlmum free reserves requlrement (£261,115) wlth the level of free
reserves held at the date of these accounts (£465,376) leads the trustees to be satisfied that
the level of free reserves Is both adequate and appropriate for the charlty.
Plans for the future
Our Strategic Plan for 2024-26 will contlnue to gulde us in the work that we do. We will deliver activity
in accordance with our objectives and the focus for the next years is outlined In our Buslness Plan and

such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparlng the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's
ability to continue as a going concem, disclosingi as applicable, matters related to going concern and

Independent Audltor's Report (continued)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audlt of the flnanclal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material mlsstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which
these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potentlal Iltlgation and
claims.
enqulry of the charlty's staff, management and those charged with governance to identify any
Instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
reviewing financlal statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentatlon to assess
compliance with appllcable laws and regulations.
auditlng the risk of management override of controls, Including through testing journal entries and
other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant
transactions outside the normal course of business.
Because of the Inherent Ilmitations of an audlt, there Is a rlsk that we will not detect all Irregularities,
including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with
regulation. Thls rlsk Increases the more that compllance with a law or regulation Is removed from the
events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware
of instances of non-compliance. The rlsk Is also greater regarding Irregularities occurring due to fraud
rather than error, as fraud Involves intentional concealment, forgeryi collusion, omisslon or
misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at:
htt
www.frc.or
onslblllties. Thls description forms part of our audltor's report.
